You put time into choosing the right cannabis products. Once you bring them home, proper storage can help maintain their quality.
Cannabis products can be affected by their surrounding environment. Excessive heat, light, air, and moisture can all influence the condition of cannabis over time.
Fortunately, keeping your products in good condition doesn’t require a complicated setup.
With a few simple storage habits, you can help protect your flower, pre-rolls, edibles, and other cannabis products.
Cannabis is a plant product containing cannabinoids and aromatic compounds that can change when exposed to environmental conditions.
Poor storage can contribute to:
The goal of good storage is to create a stable environment.
Think of it as protecting your cannabis from four major factors:
Light. Heat. Air. Moisture.
Light is one of the biggest environmental factors to consider when storing cannabis.
Rather than leaving your cannabis container on a countertop, windowsill, or other location exposed to sunlight, choose a dark storage location.
A drawer, cabinet, or cupboard can be a better option.
Keeping products away from direct sunlight helps minimize unnecessary exposure to light and heat.
Cannabis should generally be stored in a cool, stable environment.
Avoid leaving cannabis products:
Temperature fluctuations can also be undesirable.
Instead of moving your products between very hot and very cold environments, aim for consistent storage conditions.
Always follow the storage recommendations on your specific product.
Cannabis flower contains natural moisture.
If flower becomes excessively dry, it can become brittle and lose some of its natural aroma and texture.
Extremely dry flower may crumble easily and burn differently than properly stored flower.
An airtight container can help reduce unnecessary exposure to dry air.
However, avoid trying to rehydrate cannabis using household foods or other improvised methods. These can introduce unwanted moisture or contaminants.
Too much moisture can be just as problematic as too little.
Excess humidity can create an environment where unwanted microbial growth becomes more likely.
If cannabis flower develops visible mold or an unusual appearance or smell, don’t consume it.
When in doubt, discard questionable product rather than taking a risk.
An appropriately sized airtight container can help protect cannabis flower from excessive air exposure.
Glass containers are commonly used for storing flower because they provide a good barrier and don’t introduce the same concerns associated with some plastics.
Avoid using containers that are dramatically larger than the amount of flower you’re storing because excess empty space means more air inside the container.
Pre-rolls should generally remain in their original packaging until you’re ready to use them.
Keeping them packaged helps protect them from unnecessary exposure to air, light, and environmental moisture.
Store them in a cool, dry, dark location and follow any storage instructions provided on the packaging.
If you purchase multiple pre-rolls, avoid leaving them loose in a bag, car, or other exposed location.
Edibles require a slightly different approach.
Always follow the manufacturer’s storage instructions.
Some products may recommend room-temperature storage, while others may have specific requirements.
Keep edibles:
Never assume that an edible is safe simply because it looks like ordinary food.
Cannabis-infused products should remain clearly labeled and securely stored.
This is one of the most important storage rules.
Cannabis products should always be stored somewhere inaccessible to children and pets.
Edibles are especially important because they can look and smell like ordinary food.
A secure storage location can help prevent accidental consumption.
If cannabis is accidentally consumed by a child or pet, seek appropriate professional assistance immediately.
A vehicle might seem like a convenient place to temporarily keep cannabis, but temperature conditions inside cars can change dramatically.
During warm weather, interior temperatures can rise quickly.
During cold weather, temperatures can drop significantly.
Instead of leaving cannabis in your vehicle, bring it inside and store it appropriately.
Also make sure you’re following all applicable laws regarding transportation and possession.
Whenever possible, keep cannabis products in their original packaging.
The packaging usually contains important information such as:
Keeping products properly labeled makes them easier to identify and helps you reference important information later.
Sunlight can expose cannabis to unnecessary light and heat.
Vehicle temperatures can become extreme.
Containers that aren’t airtight or appropriate for cannabis may allow excessive air exposure.
Some people attempt to restore moisture by placing fruit, bread, or other food directly with flower. This can introduce unwanted moisture and contaminants.
Edibles should always remain clearly identified and stored securely.
Different cannabis products may have different storage requirements. Always check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
There’s no single answer that applies to every cannabis product.
Shelf life can depend on:
Proper storage can help maintain product quality, but cannabis doesn’t remain unchanged indefinitely.
If your product looks, smells, or feels significantly different from when you purchased it, inspect it carefully and check the product information before using it.
You don’t need an elaborate storage system.
For many cannabis products, a good starting point is:
Cool environment + minimal light + controlled moisture + secure storage.
For specific products, always prioritize the manufacturer’s instructions.
Taking a few extra minutes to store cannabis properly can help protect the quality of the products you’ve purchased.
